The Future 40 Tastemakers & Innovators of 2022
Meet a few (40 to be exact) of the people shaping the way we drink. Not only what goes into our glasses, cans, steins and bottles but where, why and how we enjoy those tasty beverages. They are fermenting more than grapes or grain. They are opening doors, building bridges and breaking down walls. Among them are winemakers, educators, brewers, sommeliers, viticulturalists, founders, conservationists, and even a lawyer, who inspire innovation and are bringing the drinks business into the future.
